6. Test the settings.

If Outlook tells you a test failed, double-check to be sure you’ve entered the settings correctly.

7. Finish the wizard.

If the “Test Account Settings” window is still open, click Close to continue.

Click Finish to finish the “Change Account” wizard.

Click Close to close the “Account Settings” window.

What if I don’t see the settings window when I click “Change”?

In 2018, Microsoft made a change to the Outlook interface where (on some computers) clicking Change in step 2 shows a completely different window, with buttons marked “Reset Mail Settings” and “Next” instead of the server settings.

If you see that, you need to get to the settings screen a different way:

Close the Outlook program completely

Click the Windows Start menu, scroll down the apps to the “Windows System” folder, then click Control Panel to open the control panel app

Search the control panel app for the word mail

Click the Mail (Microsoft Outlook 2016) result

Click the Email Accounts... button

After doing this, you should be able to highlight the account and click the Change button to see the settings window described in step 3 above.
